Docker Container Install Vim

In the earlier chapters, we have seen the various Image files such as Centos which get downloaded from Docker hub from which you can spin up containers. An example is again shown below.

  1. Docker exec apt-get update && apt-get install -y vim. But this will be limited to the container in which vim is installed. To make it available to all the containers, edit the Dockerfile and add. RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y vim. Or you can also extend the image in the new Dockerfile and add above command.
  2. Now that the Gremlin container is running in your docker environment, the Gremlin UI is a centralize location to attack either the Host or other docker containers on the host. To start an attack from the UI, login to using your Gremlin credentials and select Attack from the left panel.

If we use the Docker images command, we can see the existing images in our system. From the above screenshot, we can see that there are two images: centos and nsenter.

But Docker also gives you the capability to create your own Docker images, and it can be done with the help of Docker Files. A Docker File is a simple text file with instructions on how to build your images.

The following steps explain how you should go about creating a Docker File.

Step 1 − Create a file called Docker File and edit it using vim. Please note that the name of the file has to be 'Dockerfile' with 'D' as capital.

Step 2 − Build your Docker File using the following instructions.

The following points need to be noted about the above file −

  • The first line '#This is a sample Image' is a comment. You can add comments to the Docker File with the help of the # command

  • The next line has to start with the FROM keyword. It tells docker, from which base image you want to base your image from. In our example, we are creating an image from the ubuntu image.

  • The next command is the person who is going to maintain this image. Here you specify the MAINTAINER keyword and just mention the email ID.

  • The RUN command is used to run instructions against the image. In our case, we first update our Ubuntu system and then install the nginx server on our ubuntu image.

  • The last command is used to display a message to the user.

Step 3 − Save the file. In the next chapter, we will discuss how to build the image.

Install Vim In Docker Container

Almost all docker containers do not have a text editor by default. But most of the time you will need a command line text editor for edit files inside a docker container.

Install Vim on Docker Container

Most docker containers are based on Debian and Ubuntu Linux. So you should able install vim on docker with apt-get command.

If the docker container is a redhat based distribution, use the yum install command.
